I won't diminish your feelings by claiming this is a total solution, but getting regular exercise has really helped me come back from the place of despair I was in a few months ago. You don't need to be fit; I definitely wasn't. Something as simple as walking for an hour or two a day is free and has huge benefits; it'll get you up and outside of your normal environment, shake up your routine/rut, improve your sleep and hopefully help get you some of those feel-good chemicals pumping again. Any weight loss or fitness gains are a nice self-esteem boosting cherry on top.

I enjoy listening to audiobooks and podcasts while I'm out doing my daily 6 miles. Is there a book you really like, or one you've been really wanting to read? Get the audiobook and commit to a walking experiment for the 10-20 hours it takes to listen through that one book.
